    Is Sergio Martinez over-rated or under-rated?

    I like Martinez, i feel he lacks fundamentals due to his late start in boxing, but hes got natural talent as well as great athleticism. Hes got speed and power and is never in a dull fight. As far as beating Manny and Floyd, im not sure yet but i would give him a great chance to do it. What do you think?

    Martinez is rated just fine


    Cotto is definitely getting overrated though

      He's not overrated. Beating Pavlik and Williams like that in one year........It'd be hard to overrate someone like that. The guy is extremely good. Heck, I'd say he's great. Nobody wants any piece of him.

      He's easily #3 p4p.

      And I'd say Manny and Floyd co-share #1 until they fight each other. Possibly even give Floyd a slight edge due to Manny's rather poor showing against Marquez, a man Floyd dominated.

      Regardless, Sergio is the real deal.

        I agree maybe #4 behind Marquez but he is getting great. I think he is the most ducked fighter right now. Cottos one of my favs, be he doesnt seem to want anything to do with him. Pac and Floyd have never said his name or respond to anything regarding a fight with him, chavez and canelo dont, so i think he is being severely ducked. I want to see him vs all the greats right now, and i think he wins most, if not all of those fights.

          Neither. Everyone knows exactly how good he is, which is why he cant get a damn fight.

          He's been all but blacklisted from boxing since destroying two of HBO's favorite sons (Pavlik and Williams). He had to fight two skilled, undefeated, and utterly unknown European fighters in 2011 as punishment for such good performances in 2010, and now has to face... Macklin next?

          **** is a joke. He beats anyone 154-160.

            Martinez is with the top of current boxing. Mayweather, Pacquiao, Marquez. Then comes the rest of boxing.
